1t is an established fact that consumption
can be cured; but il is far better to prevent
the cruel disease from fastening itself on the

Mr.. Alva Russell.

Mr.. Alva Russell was born in Rus
sellville, December 4th 1S47, and de-
parted this life Nov. 10Th, 1887. Mr..
Russell was a son of one of the oldest
settlers of this community, a man in
honor of whom the town Of Russellville
was named. He was reared with that
care and rigidness that produce the
leaders of church, State, and society.
In early youth he imbibed those princi-
pies of integrity which make the sum
total of beautiful character, and that
were manifest in his daily life and con-
versation so long as he lived. He was
honest, just, and upright in his deal
ings with the world. With his friends
he was frank and open. He was a
member of the Cumberland Presbyter-
ian church and an elder in the Russell
willie congregation. AS a church men,
Der he was strictly consistent. AS an
elder he was prayerful and vigilant.
But with all his good qualities, death
claimed him as its own. When he was
convinced by incontestable proofs that
he was afflicted with lung disease, he
began to seek health in the West. He
spent one summer in the southwestern
part of Texas, and one among the
mountains of Colorado, but all to no
purpose. His health continued to fail.
He died at his home Nov. 10Th, and
was buried Nov. goth, 1887. Funeral
services were conducted by the writer.
He leaves a vile, three childrea, a
mother, and three brothers to mourn
their loss, all of whom we urge to an
implicit trust in our heavenly Father
who can temper the wind to the shorn
lamb IL. b. MILNER

The following timely and whole
some advice Is offered by one who
knows to the residents of towns deserv-
| ing a BOOM
Tell me not in mournful numbers
that the tow j is full Of gloom, for the
man'sa crank who slumbers In these
bnstling days of boom. Life is real,
| life is earnest, and the grave Is not its
goal; every dollar that thou turnest
helps to maks the old town roll. But
enjoyment not sorrow is our destined
end or way; if you have no money,
borrow-buy a corner lot each day
Lives.of great men all remind us, we can
win immortal fame; let us leave the
chumps behind us. and We'll get there
just the same. In this worlds broad
field of battle, in the bivouac of life,
let us make the dry bones rattle-buy
a corner for your wife! Let us then
be mp and doing, with a heart for any
fate. still achieving, still pursuing,
booming early, booming latew
Last Saturday was day long to be
rem embered by most OF our people.
From early morning strong wind
blew INSTANTLY from the north and
northwest and sent the dust whirling
through the streets in binding sheets,
into the houses and into the eyes OF ey-
cry paser by, making it exceedingly
difficult to go from place to place. In
the afternoon word was received that
a fierce fire was raging in the woods
north and west and was being driven
at rapid rate by the wind in the di-
rection of town. Houses were closed.
proprietors and clerks alike Went forth
to battle with the fire-fiend. For four
or five hours it was a holly contested
fight, and at times 1t seemed that no
earthly power could stay the onward
flight of the flames, but thanks to the
untiring efforts of the relief corps the
fire was checked near the limits OF
town and gotten under control. 1t
was all exciting time, and heroic work
was done. The sore eyes, Drowned ia
ces and burnt hands of the fighters tell
too plainly the scenes fthat afternoon.
Considering the territory burned over
it is remarkably strange that so little
damage resulted to property. Aside
from the loss of about 100 panels of
fence by Mr.. James Perry and about
5000 rails by DR.. Yancey, the loss SO
far as reported is trifling. But the
scare aud the work that had to be done
was I'll sufficient, and everybody is
thank ful it was no worse.

How to Kill any Town.
Oppose improvements.

Sheer at it's newspapers.
Run it down to strangers.
Go TO other towns to trade.
Do not invest a cent; lay your money
out somewhere else,
Lengthen your face when stranger
talks OF locating in it.
If man wants to buy property
charge him two prices.
If he wants to buy any body else's
interfere and discourage him.
Be particular to discredit the motives
of public spirited citizens.
Refuse to see the least merit IN any
scheme that does not directly benefit
you.
Do your best to divide the town in
factions and keep one faction lighting
another.
If you can't .'hog'' everything, judge
everybody else by yourself and accuse
them of doing it.
Ii you want to read the local journal
borrow it of a neighbor, and after you
have finished ask him what me he wants
to take such measly sheet for.
Run down other parts Of the town
than your own, and talk dis paragingly
of all the surrounding country, except
such tracts as you are personally inter :
ested in.
Be careful in following these rules,
good healthy KICKER" GROWER and
obstructionlst can do wonders toward
keeping desirable people out of town,
and disgusting public spirited ones in
1t so that they will have to get away.
Should you happen to patronize q
local journal, let the editor know you
do it to nelp him along; never acknowl-
edge to yourself nor to anybody else
that prosperous town was ever built
up nor never VIII without the aid of a
local newspaper.

OBITUARIES.
Mrs. sarah G. Williamson.


The ravages OF death made another
home lonely and drcar. other hearts
sad and desolatc, and robbed other
children Of mother. Mrs. Sarah G..
Williamson, who departed this life
Nov. 10Th 1887, was born Feb. 18th 49,
81. Her maiden name was Sarah Caro-
line Brigham. She mas married to Mr..
Woodbury. Williamson Jan. 18th 1878,
with whom she lived in perfect fidelity
and concord until her demise. She
professed faith in Christ anu joined the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church in
Russellville, in 1874, at meeting held
by the Rev. r. G. Sims now of Texas.
Mrs. Williamson was not spasmodic
christian, religious only while at
church, and Jealous only during the
progress Of REVEALS, but she was a
steady, every day christian in whose
lite the love Of God was manifest in all
she did. Around her heart there SEEM
ed to be perennial sunshine that radiat-
ed to those about her. She was kind,
loving, and true in everything. But
with all her beautiful traits Of charac-
ter, and happy disposition, she was
called home In the very prime of life.
She had assured her loved ones that
she was not afraid Of death, and now
while they are weeping she is basking
IN the glory world. She was buried in
the Williamson burying ground, SER
vices by the writer. She leaves hus-
band, four little children, host Of rel
atives and friends to mourn their loss,
all of whom we commend to our
Father in heaven who alone can bind
up the broken hearted.

Mrs. Mamie Erwin.

Mrs. Mamie Erwin was born Oct.
30th, 1854, and departed this life Nov.
10th, 1887. Mrs. Erwin was daugh-
ter of Mrs. Emily Miller, WAS reared
in this place. Sept. Sd, 1873, she was
married to Mr.. John A. Erwin, also of
Russellville, with whom she lived a
faithful, loving wife until death called
her home. Mrs. Erwin united with
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
Sept. 10th, 1878. She was before that
time member of the Presbyterian
church, but there being no organiza.
ton of that church here, she became a
member of the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian church in order that she might
have a place to work for the Master.
She was faithful, consecrated, devot-
ed member of the church as long as she
lived, and did everything in her power
to promote its interests. She was in
deed model christian, willing to
make any sacrifice for the cause of
Christ. She was not only religious in
heart, but also in mind, thought and
tongue. Her thoughts were pure, her
CONVEX sation chaste and guarded, new
or INDUCING in unwholesome gossip.
In the flesh she was great sufferer
but suffering long was always patient
and cheerful. She died without a
struggle, 'sfell asleep in Jesus" to wake
in the glory world.
She leaves husband, daughter,
mother, sister, and four brothers to
mourn their loss, all of whom we com
mend to the great Head of the church,
praying Him to lead them gently
through this world, and finally gather
them all together with the dear ones
gone before.
ssDearcst sister. thou hastleft us;
Here thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that hath bereft us:
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet We hope To meet thee
When the day of life is ied;
When in heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is shed
